Sleep apnea

Yeah, Noles, I've read a lot of papers on correlations between neck size and sleep apnea. I think it was at like 18" the chance of having sleep apnea rises greatly. And that was 18" whether it was mostly fat or if it was muscle. Either way there was far greater chance for obstructions and breathing interruptions during sleep than someone with a smaller neck

Interesting, I'll have to look into that. I had almost a 19 inch neck at 280 and now at 230 it is around 17 1/2.
